Cerro Miscanti, Volcanic mountain in Antofagasta Region, Chile.
Cerro Miscanti rises to 5,622 meters above sea level and extends over 38 square kilometers near Laguna Miscanti in northern Chile.
The mountain experienced a significant westward collapse that revealed its internal structure, with new volcanic formations developing within the collapse area.
An Inca sanctuary discovered on Cerro Miscanti indicates the mountain held religious importance for pre-Columbian civilizations in the Antofagasta region.
The mountain ranks as the second highest peak among six summits in Los Flamencos National Reserve, offering clear views of neighboring Chiliques and Miñiques volcanoes.
Rock analyses from Cerro Miscanti reveal a composition of andesite and dacite, with potential future eruptions projected to affect Laguna Miscanti's northern shores.
